It has been said that Her Majesty the present British queen was actually the last to find out about her father's death (she and her husband were in Kenya at the time). Nevertheless, there was a slight delay in the proclamation of queenship, after the confirmation that King George VI had passed away in his sleep. After all, there was always the possibility that his new widow was pregnant.
That Queen Maria Cristina of Spain was pregnant with her third child, when in 1885 her husband (King Alfonso XII) died, is a well-known fact. But what of other dowager queens who were potentially pregnant again? Good examples coming to mind are the earlier Queen Maria Cristina, widow of King Fernando VII, and Queen Emma of the Netherlands, widow of King Willem III.
There was no chance in the world for Queen Ingrid of Denmark to be pregnant, when in 1972 her husband (King Frederik IX) died. But it would not have been entirely impossible for Queen Adelaide of Great Britain, widow of King William IV, to be pregnant.
